Patent GB-2427529-B (GB)
Title: A portable device
Inventor: BICKERTON MATTHEW JAMES
IPC: A63H11/02
Filed: 2006-06-16
Granted: 2009-12-09
Abstract: A portable device comprises a motor for providing vibration, a power source for powering the motor, a switching device for controlling the direction of the motor, propelling means for engaging a surface and for propelling the device when the motor is vibrating, the propelling means extending downwardly at an angle to the vertical, and an input device connected to the switching device, the switching device arranged to switch the direction of the motor when the input device receives a predetermined signal. Advantageously, the propelling means comprise a set of bristles. By using angled bristles, this increases friction in the backwards direction and so causes the device to move forwards when vibrating. The bristles dig into surface when vibration tries to move the object backwards, and the bristles slide over surface when vibration tries to move object forwards.

Filed: 1987-03-03
Granted: 1990-03-21
Abstract: An orthopaedic device which is suitable for the treatment or prevention of subluxation or dislocation of the hip joint is described. The device comprises a waist band (11), two thigh bandes (16,17) and two leg bars (14,15). Each leg bar (14,15) is attached at one end to a thigh band (16,17) which is free to rotate about an axis which is perpendicular to the leg bar (14, 15). The other end of each leg bar (14,15) is rotatably held in a pivot (12, 13) attached to the waist band (11). Each pivot (12,13) is capable of being inclined downwards with respect to the plane of the waist band (11). The spacial relationship of the axis of the pivot (12, 13) and the distal end of the leg bar (14, 15) is such that the device operates by maintaining the legs of the wearer in abduction that is appropriate to the extent of hip flexion by altering the separation of the legs in a smooth and controlled way during hip flexion.

Granted: 1988-02-24
Abstract: Gas mixt. is made contg. inert gases; plus H2 and N2 or cpds. providing such gases. The molar ratio of H2:N2 in the mixt. is ca. 3:1. The mixt. is fed through a converter contg. one or more conventional catalysts, to mfr. NH3. The gases leaving the converter are fed through a bed of solid adsorbent which removes the NH3 and some inert gas; and the unreacted gases are recycled to the converter. The ammonia is liberated from the adsorbent, and is condensed to produce liq. NH3. The adsorbent is pref. used in more than one bed, and has an adsorption power above 0.01 ,and pref. above 0.05 g/NH3/g adsorbent at satn. and at 30 deg.C. The adsorbent is pref. carbon, activated charcoal, SiO2, Al2O3, molecular sieves, and/or zeolites.

Patent IT-1042124-B (IT)
IPC: F25B25/02
Filed: 1975-08-28
Granted: 1980-01-30
Abstract: Between a compressor (20) and a condenser (11) of the refrigeration installation, the refrigerant vapour flows through a heat recovery heat exchanger (25). The refrigerant vapour delivered by the compressor (20) is mixed with a concentrated absorption medium solution which is supplied e.g. by an injection device (39) and which absorbs a part of the compressed refrigerant vapour, as a result of which the temperature of the mixture flowing through the heat exchanger (25) is increased. After the heat exchanger (25), the solution diluted with refrigerant is separated from the remaining refrigerant vapour in a separator (30). In a concentrating device (35), the solution is subjected to the compressor inlet pressure in order to boil refrigerant off from the solution. The heat necessary for this is extracted from the remaining refrigerant vapour which at least partially condenses in the process. The solution, concentrated again, is supplied to the injection device (39) again. A part of the waste heat of the installation is thus delivered at a higher useful temperature level without the compressor having to be operated in an uneconomical compression range which is detrimental to the refrigerant. <IMAGE>
